    After having dug to a depth of 1000 meters last year, Scottish
    |
    | scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years and
    came |
    | to the conclusion
    |
    | that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 1000
    |
    | years ago.
    |
    |
    |
    |
    |
    | Not to be outdone by the Scots, in the weeks that followed, English
    |
    | scientist dug to a depth of 2000 meters and shortly after headlines
    in |
    | the UK newspapers read; English archaeologists have found traces of
    |
    | 2000
    |
    | year old fibre-optic cable and have concluded that their ancestors
    |
    | already
    |
    | had an advanced high-tech digital communications network a thousand
    |
    | years
    |
    | earlier than the Scots.
    |
    |
    |
    |
    |
    | One week later, Irish newspapers reported the following: After
    digging |
    | as deep as 5000 meters in a County Mayo bog, Irish scientists have
    |
    | found
    |
    | absolutely nothing. They, therefore, have concluded that 5000 years
    |
    | ago,
    |
    |
    |
    | Ireland's inhabitants were already using wireless technology.
